This expansive playset brings both sides of the battle for Eternia. At Grayskull Tower, you can capture He-Man’s evil foes with a trap door and opening gate. In Snake Mountain Tower, you can control the snake head to lunge and bite at any interloping heroes.
The middle Tower of Eternia hosts many surprises, including the Lion’s Head entryway that captures would-be intruders and the sculpted details in the moat. The pinnacle of the tower is armed with a double-barrel cannon that shoots missile projectiles.
Inside the main tower, an elevator moves your figures up through the second and third levels. On the third level, the training room and armory has a maneuverable Horde Trooper dummy that is remotely controlled by a chair in the command center on the second level.
This massive 3’x4’ playset is surrounded by a monorail system with a motorized tram that zips around the three towers. Attach one of three different vehicles and move your figures around the battle.
